Circuit/System Description
The radio or the chime module, if not equipped with a radio, generates the audible warnings. The instrument cluster, the body control module (BCM), the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) or the object alarm module request audible warnings via Low Speed CAN-Bus signals.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Before performing this diagnostic, make sure no indicators are illuminated after the instrument cluster performs a lamp test. If any indicators are illuminated after the bulb test, perform the indicator diagnostics before this diagnostics.
without Radio
Ignition ON, perform the Chime test with the scan tool, verify that all audible warnings sound normal.
⇒ | If the audible warnings do not operate properly, replace the P5 Chime Alarm Control Module. |
with Radio
- Ignition ON, radio ON, adjust the radio balance and fade to each speaker.
- Ignition ON, buckle up driver seat belt, verify the scan tool Driver Seat Belt Status parameter is Buckled.
- Ignition ON, headlamp switch OFF, verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, parking lamp switch OFF, verify the scan tool Parklamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, indicator switch OFF, verify the scan tool Left Indicator Switch parameter and the scan tool Right Indicator Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, handbrake released, verify the scan tool Park Brake Switch parameter is Inactive.
- Ignition ON, doors closed, verify that all scan tool parameters listed below are Inactive.
• | Driver Door Ajar Switch |
• | Passenger Door Ajar Switch |
